I’m so glad you’re here this week to join us for Happiness is Homemade! Here you can share and be inspired by lots of posts for crafts, recipes, home decor, DIYs, gardening, family ideas, and much more. For the month of October I, Niki from Life as a LEO Wife, will be your hostess. I can’t wait to dive in to all of the amazing posts that you lovely ladies (and any gents) share with us.

Before we get to the party, let’s take a look at this week’s features from our previous party. 

This Week’s Features

Happiness Is Homemade Link Party

 

Our first feature is this scary good pirate shipwreck wreath by Debbee from Debbee’s Buzz. She outdid herself with this! In the post she was kind enough to give us all a tutorial so that we can make our own. I don’t think mine will quite live up to hers because, well, just take a look.

This wreath by Ann at Ann’s Entitled Life is an adorable and very budget-friendly Halloween wreath. This wreath uses sheer mesh from Dollar Tree, and it’s more like tulle than regular deco mesh. You can see the difference between the sheer mesh used in this super cute wreath and the regular deco mesh by checking out my spiral deco mesh witch hat wreath. Ann’s wreath is adorable, and you can made it in about an hour!

Every year I go all out on a family Halloween movie, food, and game night themed around a movie our kids pick. These easy mummy Oreos from Walking on Sunshine Recipes are the perfect quick and easy Halloween themed food to add to our family movie night. They are made from regular pre-made Oreos so you can make them in no time!

I love these little buffalo check painted pumpkins made by Shelley from Calypso in the Country. They are so cute, and very easy to make. No need to break out the painters tape and wait ages for portions to dry!

These adorable drinks with orange slice pumpkin toppers from The Kitchen is My Playground are perfect for a Halloween party or movie night. You can go all out and make the included orange creamsicle recipe, the pumpkin topper, and add jack-o-lantern faces on the glass or make them as simple as an orange soda with the orange slice topper.

Welcome to the Happiness Is Homemade Link Party #394 – it’s the 4th and final week in September for my hosting.  I hope you enjoyed all of my features, it was always so hard to pick just a few!
 
It’s been an interesting week to say the least!  Sunday marked 35 weeks pregnant and then suddenly on Tuesday, my water broke at work!  After a quick two-block drive to labor and delivery at our local hospital, my daughter was born via c-section in just a few hours – crazy!  We are both doing great and my sons are SO excited to meet her!
 
And now on to the party – here are my picks from last week’s party!
 
 

 

This Week’s Features

 
Fall Pumpkin Sign: Dollar Tree Upcycle
I’m going to be home for a bit now with my new baby, so I’ve been looking for some fun crafts I can complete at home without taking too much time.  This Fall Pumpkin Sign from our very own Life As A Leo Wife looks like just the ticket!

Happiness Is Homemade Link Party #393

 

 

Welcome to the Happiness Is Homemade Link Party #393 – it’s the 3rd week in September and I’ve got some AMAZING features I found to share with you.
 
My family and I just returned from our last camping trip for the year, and what a year it’s been!  We’ve been to: Family Affair Campground, Allegheny State Park, Letchworth State Park, Evangola State Park, Lake Erie State Park and finally Camp Chautauqua.  Each place has something unique that we love which is exactly why we go back every year!
 
And now on to the party – here are my picks from last week’s party!

This Week’s Features

 
Homemade Butterbeer Soap
 Here is a tutorial teaching us how to make Homemade Butterbeer Soap?  Way too cool, that’s what this is!
 
 
 
Homemade Pumpkin Spice Coffee Creamer
Self proclaimed pumpkin spice nut here!  I love anything pumpkin flavored in the fall, but why buy when I can make my own?  Here’s a recipe for Homemade Pumpkin Spice Creamer from Arlene of Flour On My Face – thanks for the recipe woman!
 
 
5 Tasks In Your Fall Garden
Our weather in WNY is slowly cooling down as the days get shorter.  The current state of my garden?  Well, being 9 months pregnant, they are a mess!  But there are still lots of little chores I can do to help get it ready for winter.  This post with 5 Tasks In Your Fall Garden is just what I need to help me prioritize.
 
Autumn Double Chocolate Pretzel Bark
I couldn’t NOT pick a sweetie to add as a feature!  I’m a big fan of bark – there are so many different things you can do with it for all the different holidays.  This recipe for Autumn Double Chocolate Pretzel Bark sounds and looks so delicious for fall!
 
*BONUS FEATURE*
Pumpkin Banana Bread

Mini houses
Are you fascinated by mini houses?  I am! #Ad This kit, in my humble opinion, makes more of a mini-room which looks like a sweet little house on the outside. Would you call it a “she shed?”

Happiness Is Homemade Link Party #392

 

 

 
Welcome to the Happiness Is Homemade Link Party #392 – I’m Katie back with you for my 2nd week of hosting for the month of September.
 
We have a decent size pumpkin patch planted on our property with about 10 varieties of pumpkins and I am DYING to pick them and get them organized on the front porch.  Our varieties include Jack-O-Lanterns and Connecticut fields – it’s so exciting to watch them grow!
 
Let’s get on to my chosen features from last week’s party, shall we?

Snickerdoodle cookies are one of our household favorites, so of course I want to try this Snickerdoodle Crazy Cake from the Lou Lou Girls – a perfect fall dessert!
